It was in my science book, not the internet. The scientists estimated that temperatures reached upwards of 2 trillion degrees. Also, apparently the ALICE project (a large ion collider experiment) actually reached 5.5 trillion degrees in August 2012 in an attempt to study Quark Gluon. Bose-Einstein Condensate: A state of matter theorised by those two people, and achieved a few years ago. We cooled matter to a few billionths of a degree of Celsius above Absolute Zero. At that temperature, atoms began to lose their individual identities and start moulding together to make a smooth continuum. It wasn't perfectly smooth, of course; that's impossible. But yeah.Quark-Gluon Plasma, otherwise known as quark soup: When matter reaches a temperature that the protons and neutrons actually split apart to reveal asymptotically free (woo I understand what that means thanks to you guys) quarks and gluons. Quarks you know about, and gluons are particles that, well, glue the quarks together.

Textbooks also say we evolved from monkeys. That temperature just isn't logical.
